Postal Services Bill

I provided the hon. Lady with an opportunity to apologise for Labour's mistakes, but an apology was not forthcoming. I am disappointed that the Minister has not accepted new clause 2. After all, over Christmas, the Government accepted another of my proposals—that a picture of the Queen's head must remain on stamps—although if we reach that amendment later on, it refers only to Her Majesty, and we need to tighten up the wording because the monarch may not always be female. I wish to press new clause 2 to a Division. Question put, That the clause be read a Second time. The House divided: Ayes 250, Noes 308.
